Sukhdev Sahu: Converting the Intolerant
“I live in Ganyor and I have completed my schooling. My parents work as labourers. The campaign has become a significant part of my life today. My induction into the campaign began like this -- one day while returning home, I saw a man beating his wife mercilessly. She was beseeching him to stop. But her cries made him more aggressive. I was very perturbed. There were a lot of questions that crowded my mind. Why was she tolerating this? As a husband, why was the man abusing his wife in her own home? I got to hear about the campaign at this stage through an event that the campaign ally organised. I read through the communication material of the campaign and many of my questions were answered. I became aware of what constitutes violence and the kinds of violence. I enlisted as a Change Maker and today I help with organising campaign events and sensitising my friends, neighbours and strangers about the campaign and the issues it addresses.”
